A WORD FROM LEADERSHIP:



"Gaming is a part of all of our lives.

Many of us have families, careers, studies, dependencies and social obligations in the real world; yet we all find time for the gaming scene.

MMOs have openned up a channel for gamers from all over the globe, from different social, political and economic backgrounds, to come together as gamers and share a common interest and to work toward a common goal.

Animosity is an opportunity for mature, professional and motivated gamers to come together under one banner; to strive for success in every game we put our effort into.

Our guild is only as strong as the sum of it's member's and what leadership puts into the community we hope to get back from our membership base through gaming and toward the growth and maintenance of Animosity."

Desy, Dark and Commi3

ANIMOSITY:

Animosity is a progression orientated guild, with a primary focus on PvP and a significant interest in raiding. We are a tight-knit gaming community involved with multiple Sci-Fi based MMOs, FPSs, RTSs and even PnP. We are comprised of 18+ mature, skilled and dedicated gamers based all over the world (US, EU, AU) who have years of MMO and gaming experience between them. Our recruitment process is focused and specific and our ambition is to build focused but strong groups of gamers for each game that we enter. Animosity is constantly changing and evolving to make sure that we are as well organised as is possible for the games that we seek to progress in.



PHILOSOPHY:

We strongly believe that real life is the most important thing to all of us. We know "Sith" will happen, and no guild or game should expect you to suffer for taking care of whatever matters most in your own life. Whilst we strive for success in all of our divisions, we understand life's obligations.

We are all here to progress as consistently and as quickly as possible, at the same time as building a group of skilled gamers who can work together well to overcome whatever challenge is thrown at them. We are not against trimming the herd; we don't allow periods of inactivity of over 3 months (unless due to military service) without scrutiny and we have bi-weekly inactivity checks to coincide with our inactivity policy.



COMMUNITY:

Our community is orientated towards the so-called, "hardcore," mindset but also provides for a more casual play style. We realise that our members have applied to join us for specific games and that we cannot force them to partake in other games outside of their choice. We do encourage it however, running events in multiplayer FPSs, RTS and other MMOs in order to keep our abilities primed so that when we do jump into our games we are in the best position possible. You will find our members playing a host of games whilst we wait for the various Divisions to open up in game.



OUR AGENDA:

Leaders: We as leaders and officers of the guild strive to be the most organized and active guild we can possibly muster, to stay on top of the game and keep our members happy. We seek to set the example and not dictate rules.

Guild: We seek to progress consistently through PvP and PvE, accepting that we must put in additional time and effort in order to perform to the best of our abilities. Our end goal is to be one of the best, if not the best.



BACKGROUND:

Animosity was formed on the 14th of January 2009. Many of the initial members and leadership were apart of the guild A'a Netjer. We have a host of members of different backgrounds, including well known guilds such as Death and Taxes and Nihilum of World of Warcraft fame. We also have numerous multi-Rank 14 members, Arena Gladiators, Pre-CU /NGE Jedi and other members with hefty game-specific achievements not including our members with world first boss kills in World of Warcraft and Warhammer Online.



WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?:

- Mature 18+ Players

- Dedicated and loyal gamers

- Above average experience and understanding

- Fun, humour, responsibility

- Progressive mindset



WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A MEMBER:

Belief –

Animosity's mission is to be respected as one of the most skilled, organized and active guild's in all of our divisions. Our goal is to progress through end-game and pvp off our own steam. All members of Animosity must believe in our mission and our goals to be a member of this community.

Loyalty –

It is extremely important to maintain a high level of lotalty to the community you are apart of and have helped to grow and progress. If you have other friends that you game with who are not a member of Animosity, your primary loyalty must be with Animosity and your division. We accept that real life and other commitements come first, however if you're gaming, and Animosity calls on your assistance, you must remain loyal to the Animosity belief system.

Skill -

As a member of Animosity you are required to be skilled, or have the potential to be skilled or trained. Whilst Animosity generally serves to find recruits of high skill, we also accept those with potential who can be trained to match our progression.

Trainable -

Every day you learn something different. That statement is usually uttered by executives and long-term management, but rarely by the grunts. Even if you feel you're at the top of your game, or you need assistance with your class, it is not something we look down upon. Animosity members must be willing to be trained; it is amazing what can be achieved with regular insight to your game plan, especially on a larger pvp scale.

Gamer Etiquette -

All members of Animosity are required to have basic manners. With a large guild, there are going to be members who simply don't get along or see eye to eye. As long as we can all work politely together with progression and our mission in mind, we can stay afloat.

Organized -

Our community is based on maturity, and usually with maturity comes a general level of organization from our members. If there is a raid schedule, a pvp arena or an event in which you are either subscribed to, or are expected to attend, all Animosity members are required to be on time and be prepared.

Team Play -

Animosity is about teamwork and working as such. Animosity members are required to engage with the rest of the community and not seek an individual play style. As with gamer etiquette, if there are groups running content within there own party, Animosity members are expected to respect that intent.

Maturity -

It is the basic foundation of Animosity on a whole. With maturity, the above points come seamlessly.

Activity -

You must be active within the Animosity guild. You may hold all of the above attributes, but are rarely seen, in which our activity policy will list you as inactive.
